A/N: I don't own anything...the Belle, Shawn and Philip I am talking about here is Kirstin Storms, Jason Cook and the Philip from when the teens were in high school I am not sure the spelling of his name.

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all...

"Daddy" 6 year old Belle said. John stopped by the door and looked at Belle.

"Princess you should be sleeping" John said as he walked over to Belle and kissed her on the top of her head.

"I can't" Belle said sadly.

"Why honey?" John asked. He looked at his litle girl, she looked sad.

"I want you to come home" Belle said. John looked sadly at his daughter. Roman hadn't recovered fully from his illness, and Marlena and him were still waiting to tell him that they were in love. John sat down on Belle's bed.

"I know honey, but we just have to wait a little while, uncle Roman has to stay here and till he gets better" John informed his daughter. It sadded him to tell his daughter this.

"Why?" Belle asked confused.

"While mommy makes his feel better...it's like when you get sick, doesn't mommy make you feel better?" John asked.

"Yes" Belle agreed as she nodded her head. John smiled at Belle.

"Does mommy make you feel better also?" Belle asked. John smiled brighly.

"All the time" John said. Belle smiled at him.

"I think she has magic powers..." Belle said sersouly. John nodded his head.

"Daddy will you pray with me?" Belle asked as she climbed out of her bed. John nodded.

"Come daddy" Belle said as she motion for John to kneel beside her. John did the exacte what Belle had asked, Belle put her hands tgether.

"Dear God...thank you for giving me daddy..and mommy and even sometime horrible Brady" Belle started. John laughed slighly but stopped when he heard Belle's next wish.

"And can you please also let Uncle Roman get better so that daddy can move home and we can all be a family and daddy will take us to the park" Belle pleaded. John suddenly felt sad, this was Roman, Doc and his problems but his children were suffering.

"I love you God and I hope I have been good enought for you...Amen" Belle said and opened her eyes.

"Was that okay daddy?" Belle asked John. John nodded and smiled at his daughter.

"That was perfect, now it's time for bed" John said as Belle climbed back into bed. John tucked Belle in and kissed her on the forehead.

"I love you daddy" Belle smiled. John looked down at his daughter and smiled again, he really loved his little girl so much.

"I love you to honey" John said as he pinched her nose.

"Night sweetheart" John said as he stood by the door.

"Night daddy...don't let the bug bite" Belle laughed as John switched the light off and walked out the room. He felt this sadness in his heart, his daughter wasn't suppose to be sad, she was his little princess.

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride

"Daddy" Belle screamed as the horse started to walk.

"We right here" John resumed his daughter as both John and Marlena walked in between Brady and Belle on the horse.

"But daddy I am scread" Belle cried again. John let go of Marlena's hand and walk closer to his daughter, he took her hand.

"You see I am here" John smiled at her. Belle stopped crying.

"You need help honey?" Marlena asked Brady as she walked closer to him.

"No I am fine, I already been on a horse, it's Belle's first time...I am not scread" Brady said proudly. Marlena smiled at John , he looked lovely at Marlena, they were finally together and spending time together as a family was so important to both of them.

"Daddy why don't you and mommy come on one?" Belle asked cursily. John laughed.

"Well who would be holding your hand if mommy and I went on also?" John asked Belle.

"While daddy you can hold mommy and mine hand" Belle smiled at them. John and Marlena smiled at each other.

"It's okay honey" Marlena said as she laughed at her little girl.

"Your loss" Belle said. Marlena laughed and put her arm around John's waist. John looked Marlena's way and kissed her on the check.

"Love you Doc" John said lovingly.

"Love you to" Marlena smiled back.

I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

"What is that?" a 12 years old Brady asked with a gross face as his sister walked into the lounge with a cake.

"It's daddy's bithday cake" Belle said proudly.

"No it isn't" Brady laughed.

"Yes it is" Belle said annoyed.

"How did you make that?" Brady asked.

"It's not that...it's a cake and daddy going to be so proud, I have never made a cake before" Belle said.

"While we can all see that" Brady mocked her.
"Brady" Belle said annoyed.

"Hey kids" Marlena smiled as she walked down the stairs.

"Mom...Brady is mocking me" Belle said upset.
"Brady leave your sister alone" Marlena moaned.

"I will as long as I don't have to eat that" Brady said still refering that to the cake.

"Brady..be nice, Belle did well" Marlena said defanding her daughter.

"See" Belle said as she stuck her tounge out.

"I will cut that off" Brady moaned at her.

"Mom" Belle moaned again.

"You two stop..be nice to each other, your father is on his way down" Marlena moaned at them.

"Tell him to leave me alone than" Belle said.

"No..tell her that" Brady complained.

"KIDS" Marlena said trying not to raise her voice, she didn't want to spoil this day for John, she wanted it to be speical, just as he was.

"Happy Birthday" Marlena, Brady and Belle shouted as John started down the stairs. John smiled hugely at his family, they really were a great family.

"Suprise Daddy..." Belle said as she picked up the cake and showed John. John looked down at the cake, it was different, it looked nice, but John smiled.

"That's lovely sweetheart" John said as he took the cake from Belle.

"Happy bithday honey" Marlena smiled as she kissed her husband. John smiled at his family.

"This is a lovely suprise" John smiled.

"And a horrible looking cake" Brady laughed.

"Brady" Marlena said as Marlena and John looked at annoyed at Brady.

"Well you did call it a cake...thanks Brady" Belle smiled brighly at all three of them. Brady just looked at Belle suprised.

"Hope you have a great day daddy, I will see you later" Belle said as she kissed Marlena and John.

"Where are you going?" Marlena asked curilsy.

"I have to meet Mimi before school, this one guy is trying to fright with Mimi and nobody mess with my best friend" Belle informed them as she grabbed her backpack and headed out the door.

"Love you mom...daddy" Belle shouted as she cl0sed the door behide her. John, Marlena and Brady just laughed as they went to eat breakfest.

Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world, but I remember...

"Belle..Shawn told me that you look hot tonight" Mimi said to Belle as they entered the Penthouse.

"Shawn said what?" Belle asked suprised.

"He said you look hot and I know that you are indeed happy about this" Mimi said.

"How many times do I have to tell you Mimi Lockheart, I do not like Shawn Dougles Brady...well like that anyway" Belle said annoyed, she tryed to convice Mimi, but it wasn't working.

"Whatever you say Belle" Mimi said as she rolled her eyes. Belle turned her attetion to her parents that were standing near the lounge suit.

"Mom..dad..what you guys doing home?" Belle asked her parents confused as she hugged them both.

"Hello Belle...Mimi" John and Marlena greeted the two teens.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Black" Mimi greeted them back.

"Well?..." Belle asked them

"You didn't think we were going to miss the day our daughter turns 16...did you?" John asked.

"I guess...I just thought I was going to see you at the party tonight" Belle said shocked.

"No way..your dress is upstairs in your room" Marlena smiled at Belle.

"It is?...come on Memms you have to see my dress" Belle smiled as she started to walk.

"Belle I'll see it tonight, I have to go, my mom said she was going to help me with my make-up and hair" Mimi smiled.

"Hold on" John shouted. Belle turned around and looked worried.

"What's wrong...don't tell me people cancelled on me?" Belle asked getting worried. John and Marlena laughed.

"Belle honey relex...we were just going to ask you how you are?" Marlena said.

"Mom I don't have time to chit chat, I have the biggestest party of my life in less than 5 hours and my hair looks like this" Belle said as she started to get worry again.

"Okay go..go and get your self all dolled up" John said as he threw his hands in the air. He chuckled to himself as Belle raced upsatirs.

"So what you think dad?" Belle asked as she started coming down the stairs. John looked at his daughter, it was about 19:30, they were about to leave for Belle's sixteenth party. John caught his breath as his daughter started walking down the stairs. She looked so grown up, she didn't look like his little pricness anymore, she was growing up into a young woman.

"Wow..Belle, you look beautiful" John smiled.

"She does..doesn't she?" Marlena asked walking behide Belle. John had to stop, he just starred at Marlena and Belle, they were the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He couldn't believe how much Belle was looking like Marlena, how much of a woman Belle was becoming. But as much as she was becoming a woman he couldn't let go of the little girl who was his little princess, she went from teddy bears and barbies to Make-up and Shawn Dougles Brady, it was happing to fast, he didn't think he could take it anymore, he wanted his princess back.

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

"Belle I want you to know how proud I am of you " John said as he pulled Belle aside.

"Dad?" Belle asked confused.

"No just let me talk" John stopped Belle.

"I watched as you said your speech today, I still can't believe that you graduated high school today...but I don't think I have had a prouded moment and no matter what you do in your life, I know you are going to be succesfully, Belle what I am trying to say is that you become a great woman, you not this little girl anymore and as much as that hurts me...nothing makes me prouded" John smiled at her.

She'll change her name today, she'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bridegroom just staring at her
She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl, and she leaned over...

"So..how do I look?" Belle asked, worried people wouldn't like it.

"You look stunning princess"John said as he walked up to Belle and hugged her slighly.

"Aww dad...you havn't called me that in ages" Belle smiled.

"Dad..what's going on with you?" Belle asked her dad worried.

"I am sorry Belle, it's just I can't beleive you are getting married...it feels like I am lossing you" John said sadly. Belle grabbed John's arm and pulled him away from the crowd of people.

John watched Marlena talking to their daughter. They both looked so happy.

"Mom..I think the flowers are going to fall" Belle said as Marlena and Belle tryed to get the white flowers to stay in her hair.

"What about like this" John said as he tryed to help them out. Belle and Marlena smiled at him.

"Perfect" Belle smiled as she kissed John on the check.

"I can't believe our little girl is getting married" Marlena said all teary eyes as she put her arm around Johns back. John pulled Marlena closer to him, he was so emiotional about Belle getting married, he needed his wife with him.

"I know, Shawn Dougles is a very lucky man" John smiled. John helped Belle stick the white flowers in her hair.

Marlena and Brady walked down the Ilse first, they shared a hug before taking their seats . John smiled proudly at Marlena and Brady, he was the luckisted man on the earth. Lily, the flower girl, walked after Marlena and Brady had taken their seats. Chloe, brides maid followed, with Mimi, maid of honour.
